How to Care for Your Stainless Steel Tumbler: Tips for Long-Lasting Use
Share
Your Buddy Cup Tumbler is built to last, but proper care will keep it looking great and performing at its best for years to come. Here are our top tips for maintaining your stainless steel tumbler.
Daily Cleaning
After each use, rinse your tumbler with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft bottle brush to reach the bottom and ensure all residue is removed. This simple habit prevents odors and staining.
Deep Cleaning
For a thorough clean, try these methods:
- Baking Soda Method: Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with warm water, let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub and rinse.
- Vinegar Soak: Fill your tumbler with equal parts white vinegar and water, let it sit overnight, then rinse thoroughly.
- Dishwasher Safe: Most stainless steel tumblers are dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand washing extends their life.
Removing Stubborn Stains
Coffee and tea can leave stains over time. Create a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to stained areas, let it sit for 30 minutes, then scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge.
What to Avoid
- Don't use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface
- Don't microwave your stainless steel tumbler
- Avoid leaving beverages in your tumbler for extended periods
Maintaining Temperature Performance
To keep your tumbler's temperature retention at peak performance, ensure the seal and lid are clean and properly fitted.
